Date: Thu, 29 May 2008 13:27:12 -0400 From: Kristian Høgsberg <krh@...hat.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Kristian Høgsberg <krh@...hat.com>, "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@...or.com> Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Honor 'quiet' command line option in real mode boot decompressor. This patch lets the early real mode decompressor parse the kernel command line and look for the 'quiet' option. When 'quiet' is passed we suppress the "Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... done." messages. This is in line with how the rest of the kernel suppresses informational debug spew when quiet is given. Signed-off-by: Kristian Høgsberg <krh@...hat.com> --- Ok, I flipped the default on this patch since turning off those important messages by default is apparently quite controversial. With this patch we still print the decompression status messages, but if quiet is seen on the kernel command we suppress them. arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c | 31 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 files changed, 28 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c b/arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c index 102b68e..b548379 100644 --- a/arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c +++ b/arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c @@ -190,6 +190,7 @@ static void gzip_release(void **); */ static struct boot_params *real_mode; /* Pointer to real-mode data */ #define RM_SCREEN_INFO (real_mode->screen_info) +static int quiet; extern unsigned char input_data[]; extern int input_len; @@ -391,7 +392,8 @@ static void parse_elf(void *output) return; } - putstr("Parsing ELF...
